Gabe Kapler said the Phillies would use Thursday night’s dramatic walk-off win as “fuel” as they continued their four-game series with the Marlins. Two nights later and the tank remained full.
The Phillies homered four times Saturday night as they rolled past the Marlins, 8-3, at Citizens Bank Park to win their third straight game. They increased their first-place lead to 1 1/2 games over Atlanta and moved 6 1/2 games in front of third-place Washington.
The Phillies can complete a rare four-game sweep on Sunday against the Marlins as they use the bottom-feeders as a way to build separation in the division.
